Amex MR -> SPG. One initiated 1030PM Sunday, the other 12:30AM Monday EST. Points posted around 650AM Monday, both arrived at the same time. So approx. only 6 hour late latency for that second transfer!!!!

Did anyone have different names on the Marriott and Aeroplan accounts and was still able to redeem the hotel+air package properly? I spoke to a CSR and they said the names have to match, now I have to wait for Marriott to process the name change...

Is it worth it to convert from spg to Aeroplan during the bonus offer?

Is this sandwich worth $4?

Only you can answer that, just like only I can evaluate the value of this sandwich.

SPG is worth more than AP IMO. Are you going to use the AP on a business class long-haul flight where they will be "worth" much more than 3-4c each?
You should be able to get 3-4c value from SPG for hotel stays. AP might only be worth 1-1.5c, or even less. It varies greatly depending on how you use them.

Is it worth it to convert from spg to Aeroplan during the bonus offer?

I would say only if you have enough SPG to do a Marriott travel pack, which means you would get 90k SPG to 120k Aeroplan plus 25 percent (total 150k), and 7 nights somewhere which you can choose to use or not

Requested two different Marriott 7-night Travel Packages. Both posted Aeroplans by Marriott on Monday, and yes, both back-dated to the original date of the package redemption with Marriott phone rep. These were ordered a couple of weeks apart, not at the same time.
